I go by the name of Flyy Guy Fresh I'm up and coming artist hailing from Harlem, NY. My music is centered around wordplay, metaphors, story telling and wittiness. I'm influenced heavily by the music of the 90's and that's what I try to give in my musical approach by making good music but still keeping the art of lyricism present.

The campaign asks President Obama to come home to Chicago, the president’s hometown, to work with the community to present a concrete action plan for saving the lives and improving the futures of Black and Latino youth in Chicago and throughout the nation.

In 2012 alone, more than 500 Chicagoans were murdered. Chicago Police attribute the high murder rate to gun violence. The shooting death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton last week, a mile from Obama’s Kenwood home, begged the question that few have spoken aloud: where is President Obama’s leadership on the crisis of gun violence affecting Black and Brown youth in the nation’s urban centers?

Although a White House spokesperson made a brief statement on behalf of the president and first lady expressing sorrow for the Pendleton family’s loss, the statement fails to address the systemic variables that contribute to high gun violence deaths amongst urban youth. The president’s silence is particularly striking, given the forceful leadership and resolve he correctly demonstrated in response to the recent suburban Newtown, Connecticut massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Youth advocates and activists around the country—from Chicago hip-hop artist Rhymefest, and former White House Green Jobs advisor Van Jones to Chicago’s own Father Flager and the Reverend Jesse Jackson—have expressed support for the goals of Black Youth Project campaign, which asks Obama to come home to Chicago, address the concerns Chicago’s youth have about their personal safety and reassure the nation about the value we place on the lives of young Black and Latino Americans.

The campaign has a petition that seeks 50,000 signatures.

“We know President Obama cannot solve the issue of gun violence alone,” the petition says. “However, he can call the nation to consciousness about the need for a response to this crisis.

Community and student rallies are being planned this week in Chicago.

“Black and Latino youth are facing a crisis that demands the leadership of our president,” says Cathy Cohen, Founder of the Black Youth Project, an organization committed to empowering Black youth across the country. “Young Black and Latino citizens turned out in record numbers for this president in the 2008 and 2012 Presidential Elections. They stood by him. Now they need him to stand with them for change.”

We've got a new music video from JustMe's latest album "Full Disclosure". The video is for the single "Knob Creek" that features Marcus Wilkerson & Sheisty Khrist. Deacon the Villain (Cunninlynguists) directed the video.

The song is produced by the highly skilled and respected Anthony Ustazewski, also known as "Ski," who is co-founder of the production company Groundbreaking Entertainment. The beat craftsman's tantalizing horns and bellowing base mixed with Yung Prof's standout voice and descriptive lyrics are sure to make this not only a hit, but also a classic.
